It was just another ordinary day for Artemis Fowl. He had gotten up from bed and went on the computer. Light footsteps. It's amazing how he moved without making a single sound. He stared at the computer screen with his deep blue eyes. Instinctively, he checked his email. Nothing, nothing. Junks and some more junks. "Loose 10 pounds in a week" "Send this to 12 other people" Then something caught his eyes.
"Draconian Scalit..?"
Artemis murmured to himself. Tiger eyes. He knew what those were.
The rarest gem in the world. Priceless. In fact, he's been
staying up the previous day researching on the same subject. Artemis began
to read the letter.
"Dear Artemis Fowl,
You have been chosen as one of 20 people to compete for the ever so rare gem,
Draconian Scalit. Yes, you heard me. Compete. You and that
other 19 people will solve the clues, one by one, and the winner, will obtain
that gem and 20 million dollars. I assure you, Mr. Fowl, it won't be as
easy as you think.
Yours truly, Rae Flamper Scanp the 3rd"
"hm...." Artemis smirked amused. And called Butler. Butler, of course, came rushing up the stairs. He was pretty curious on what his young master was up to. He can tell by the tone of Artemis' voice. This was beginning of something new.
"Yes Artemis?"
Artemis printed the letter and held it infront of Butler.
"What do you think?"
Butler slowly read the letter. And didn't say a single word for a while.
"It sounds... interesting... Artemis, er..."
Artemis knew the confused look on Butler's face. He began to explain.
"First of all, Draconian Scalit is the rarest gem in the world. Only one known. And as for Rae Flamper Scanp, he claims to be the richest men on Ireland. And he didn't put any address on it because he only wanted ones worthy enough to participate. It's easy really, to track one as famous down. -he looked at his fingernails- but that's probably going to stop about 10 people from coming. I, myself, one of them."
"Why not?"
Artemis stared. Frowned's more like it. He rubbed his pale eyebrows.
"It's a trap Butler."
"Oh."
"What kind of whack would fall for it? -Butler stared down at the floor- It's obvious. Draconian Scalit, 20 million dollars, sure, it's catchy enough. But think about it. Why would he give it away to some person? You thinking maybe he wants to be amused? no. Butler, I've read his families record. They're not known as kind."
Artemis turned off the computer as he sighed. He should really go downstairs and eat breakfast. His mother was getting really concerned about his time on the computer. What kind of parent wouldn't? Angeline Fowl was making breakfast. Artemis took a seat and thought about the Draconian Scalit. It would be nice to own it and sell it for a very high amount of money. But no. He won't fall for a dumb trick.
"So... You have anything you want
to tell me?"
Angeline Fowl started the conversation.
"no"
Angeline sighed.
"You know Artemis, Dr. Po called."
Artemis looked up.
"He says that I should suggest you on going outside more often... And getting away from that computer. So after breakfast, why don't you go have a little walk on the park?"
"yes mother."
Get away from the computer... to go outside? Artemis sighed. He quickly finished his breakfast and headed outside with Butler.
It was really sunny. Too sunny for Artemis's liking. His pale face did not match the sun. Little kids were playing on the park. Some older teenagers were passing by giggling. Artemis settled himself down on a bench nearby and began thinking about the Draconian Scalit. The thought didn't leave his mind. Draconian Scalit. The Draconian Scalit. One and only. The gem that was discovered in early 1900s. Brilliant deep blue stone....
